Small Space, Big Results: How to Organize Your Laundry Room Closet Like a Pro

September 1, 2015 by Billie Hillier Leave a Comment

Organizing a laundry room closet can be a daunting task, but with a little effort and planning, it can be a great way to streamline your laundry routine and save time.

By decluttering, sorting items, using containers, maximizing vertical space, and keeping the closet clean, you can create an organized and efficient laundry room that will make doing laundry a breeze.

Additionally, installing a drying rack, using space-saving hangers, storing items in baskets, labeling everything, keeping a step stool handy, considering a folding station, and adding lighting are all great ways to further enhance the organization and functionality of your laundry room closet.

  1. Declutter: The first step to organizing any space is to declutter. Go through your laundry room closet and get rid of any items you no longer use or need. This will help you create more space for the items you actually need.
  2. Sort items: Once you have decluttered, sort the remaining items into categories such as detergents, stain removers, fabric softeners, etc. This will make it easier to find what you need when you need it.
  3. Use containers: Consider using containers to store smaller items like clothespins, dryer sheets, and sewing supplies. Clear containers will make it easier to see what’s inside, and labels can help you quickly find what you need.
  4. Maximize vertical space: Install shelves or use stackable organizers to make the most of your vertical space. This will help you store more items and keep everything within reach.
  5. Hang items: Install hooks or a hanging rod to store items like hangers, ironing boards, and clothes that need to air dry.
  6. Keep it clean: A laundry room closet can quickly become dirty and cluttered. Make sure to clean the space regularly to keep it organized and functional.
  7. Install a drying rack: A drying rack can be a great addition to your laundry room closet, especially if you have clothes that need to air dry. You can either install a retractable drying rack or use a freestanding one.
  8. Use space-saving hangers: Hangers that can hold multiple items or cascading hangers can save you a lot of space in your closet.
  9. Store items in baskets: Baskets are a great way to store items like towels, blankets, and other linens. They can also add a decorative touch to your laundry room closet.
  10. Label everything: Labels can help you quickly find what you need and keep everything in its place. You can use labels on containers, shelves, and even on the door of your closet.
  11. Keep a step stool handy: If your laundry room closet has high shelves, keep a step stool nearby so you can easily reach items that are stored up high.
  12. Consider a folding station: If you have the space, consider adding a folding station to your laundry room closet. This will give you a designated area to fold clothes and keep everything organized.
  13. Add lighting: If your laundry room closet is dark, consider adding some lighting. This will make it easier to find what you need, especially if your closet is in a basement or other low-light area.
